Air India plane had overshot by about 2000 feet: Praful Patel
22 May 2010, 1828 hrs IST,PTIHe told reporters that preliminary observation showed that there was no problem with the four-year-old runway or the aircraft but the plane had overshot by about 2000 feet, leading to the mishap.
Patel said the pilot Z Glusica , British national of Serbian origin, and co-pilot H S Ahluwalia were not new to the terrain as they had undertaken several landings at the same airport.
He said a detailed inquiry would be conducted by the DGCA to ascertain what actually happened at the airport.
"The DGCA has ordered an inquiry. Air India has constituted a team, headed by Executive Director (Operations) to establish the circumstances, collect data and assist the DGCA inquiry," the minister said.
The Black Box, an instrument which records all conversations between the pilots and ATCs, has not been recovered as yet, he said. Citing initial details available, he said the "friction quotient" at the runway, which has been operational since 2006, was in order and had been certified by the DGCA.
To a question, Patel said the runway, on which the ill-fated plane landed, was bigger than the other one at the airport. This runway is 8,000 feet long as compared to the other one, which is 6,000 feet long. He said 159 people were killed in the crash but seven survived.
Four of the survivors had minor injuries, three had major injuries and one escaped unhurt.

AI crash: 158 dead, 7 survive
Speculations are rife about the cause of the Mangalore-bound Air India plane crash. Was it the pilot's error or the weather? Hunt on for blackbox
"Of the 158 bodies, 72 bodies have been identified," Commissioner of Police Seemanth Kumar Singh told PTI. The IX 812 Dubai-Mangalore Air India flight had 160 passengers and six crew members on board. The eight persons who escaped from the jaws of death included five adults and three infants.
My readers may have read my write up on the Bangalore Airport Mess written in 2007. We face the Mess in Kolkata and entire eastern and north eastern Region. Even, the International Indira Gandhi airport in New Delhi is not spared. Privatisation of Aviation Sector has ensured DOOMSDAY of for Indian Airlines and Air India, but it has been a Free For All Business for the Private Aviation Companies at the cost of AI and IA. Expansion of Air Travel and Boost in Foreign capital Inflow have satisfied the Ruling Class Most but the Management and Infrastructure have NEVER Improved.
An Air India Boeing that crashed at Mangalore in Karnataka Saturday overshot the runway after landing, Air India director Anup Srivastava said.Srivastava said that while eight passengers were rescued from the burning wreckage, two passengers were reported missing.
The condition of some of the injured was critical, he said.
'Mangalore airport is closed for now and we are routing operations from Calicut,' Srivastava said.
However, he declined to go into the causes of the accident and said it would be the subject matter of the probe.
Mangalore airport is constructed on a hilltop with valleys on all sides.
How the Aviation sector is managed, the Unfortunate Accident, showcases it very well as Boeing, US aviation officials to assist Air India crash probe!Officials from Boeing and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will visit India to provide technical assistance to investigators after an Air India Express Boeing 737 crashed in Mangalore killing 159 people, officials said.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) (Hindi: भारतीय विमानपत्तन प्राधिकरण) is an organization working under the Ministry of Civil Aviation that manages all the airports in India. The AAI manages and operates 126 airports including 12 international airports[1], 89 domestic airports and 26 civil enclaves. The corporate headquarters(CHQ) are at Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan, Safdarjung Airport, New Delhi. V.P Agrawal is the current chairman of the AAI.
Contents[hide] |
[edit] History
The AAI was formed on 1 April 1995 by merging the National Airports Authority (NAA) and the International Airports Authority of India (IAAI), to create a centralized organization that could effectively manage both the international and domestic airports. Presently, it is owned 100% by the Government of India.
[edit] Functions
- Control and management of the Indian airspace extending beyond the territorial limits of the country, as accepted by ICAO
- Design, Development, Operation and Maintenance of International and Domestic Airports and Civil Enclaves.
- Construction, Modification and Management of Passenger Terminals
- Development and Management of Cargo Terminals at International and Domestic airports.
- Provision of Passenger Facilities and Information System at the Passenger Terminals at airports.
- Expansion and strengthening of operation area viz. Runways, Aprons, Taxiway, etc.
- Provision of visual aids.
- Provision of Communication and Navigational aids viz. ILS, DVOR, DME, Radar, etc.
[edit] Revenue
Most of AAI's revenue is generated from landing/parking fees and fees collected by providing Air Traffic Control services to aircraft over the Indian airspace.
Only 16 of the 126 airfields operated by the AAI are profitable while the other airports incur heavy losses due to under utilisation and poor management.[2].
[edit] Privatisation of Airports
The AAI was involved in a tussle with the Ministry of Civil Aviation over the issue of privatization of its two most profitable airports, Delhi Airport and Mumbai Airport. The Government of India handed over these two airports to private companies for the purpose of modernization in 2006. The privatization for Mumbai has been handed to GVK Group and for Hyderabad, Delhi to the GMR Group.
The airports which have been privatized are :
- Cochin - Cochin International Airport
- Bangalore - Bengaluru International Airport
- Delhi - Indira Gandhi International Airport
- Hyderabad - Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
- Mumbai - Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
[edit] International Projects
The AAI has been involved in various consultancy projects with Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Maldives, Nauru and Afghanistan The AAI also provides trained personnel for operation, maintenance and management of airports in these countries [1]

[edit] History
[edit] Early years
Air India was founded by J. R. D. Tata in July 1932 as Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). On 15 October 1932, J. R. D. Tata flew a single-engined De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi's Drigh Road Aerodrome to Bombay's Juhu Airstrip via Ahmedabad. The aircraft continued to Madras via Bellary piloted by former Royal Air Force pilot Nevill Vintcent.
[edit] Post-war expansion
Following the end of World War II, regular commercial service was restored in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on 29 July 1946 under the name Air India. In 1948, after the Independence of India, 49% of the airline was acquired by the Government of India, with an option to purchase an additional 2%. In return, the airline was granted status to operate international services from India as the designated flag carrier under the name Air India International. On 8 June 1948, a Lockheed Constellation L-749A named Malabar Princess (registered VT-CQP) took off from Bombay bound for London via Cairo and Geneva. This marked the airline's first long-haul international flight, soon followed by service in 1950 to Nairobi via Aden.
On 1 August 1953, the Government of India exercised its option to purchase a majority stake in the carrier and Air India International Limited was born as one of the fruits of the Air Corporations Act that nationalised the air transportation industry. At the same time all domestic services were transferred to Indian Airlines. In 1954, the airline took delivery of its first L-1049 Super Constellations and inaugurated services to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
[edit] The Jet Age
Air India International entered the jet age in 1960 when its first Boeing 707-420, named Gauri Shankar (registered VT-DJJ), was delivered. Jet services to New York City via London were inaugurated that same year on 14 May 1960. On 8 June 1962, the airline's name was officially truncated to Air India. On 11 June 1962, Air India became the world's first all-jet airline.
In 1971, the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 747-200B named Emperor Ashoka (registered VT-EBD). This coincided with the introduction of the 'Palace In The Sky' livery and branding. A feature of this livery is the paintwork around each aircraft window, in the cusped arch style of windows in Indian palaces. In 1986 Air India took delivery of the Airbus A310-300; the airline is the largest operator of this type in passenger service. In 1988, Air India took delivery of two Boeing 747-300Ms in mixed passenger-cargo configuration.
[edit] Early 1990s
In 1993, Air India took delivery of the flagship of its fleet when the first Boeing 747-400 named Konark (registered VT-ESM) made history by operating the first non-stop flight between New York City and Delhi. In 1994 the airline was registered as Air India Ltd. In 1996, the airline inaugurated service to its second US gateway at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. In 1999, the airline opened its dedicated Terminal 2-C at the renamed Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.
[edit] 2000s to Present
In 2000, Air India introduced services to Shanghai and to its third US gateway at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark. On May 2004, Air India launched a wholly-owned low cost airline called Air-India Express. Air India Express connecting cities in India with the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Subcontinent. In 2004 Air India launched flights to its fourth US gateway at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles (which has since been terminated) and expanded its international routes to include flights from Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
On 1 December 2009, Air India introduced services to its fifth US gateway at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., accessed via a stopover at JFK Airport in New York City.
[edit] Re-privatisation plans
In 2001, Air India was put up for sale by the then NDA government[5]. One of the bids was by a consortium of Tata Group-Singapore Airlines. However the re-privatisation plans were shelved after Singapore Airlines pulled out and the global economy slumped[6].
[edit] Merger with Indian Airlines
In 2007, the Government of India announced that Air India would be merged with Indian Airlines. As part of the merger process, a new company called the National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) was established, into which both Air India (along with Air India Express) and Indian Airlines (along with Alliance Air) will be merged.
[edit] Frankfurt Hub
On 1 March 2009, Air India made Frankfurt Airport at Frankfurt am Main as its international hub for onward connections to United States from India. However as of 2010, the airline is searching for another European hub possibly in Denmark, Ireland, Italy or Russia because of High operating costs at Frankfurt Airport[7][8].
[edit] Financial crisis
Around 2006-2007, the airlines began showing signs of financial distress. The combined losses for Air India and Indian Airlines in 2006-07 were Rs 770 crores. After the merger of the airlines, this went up to Rs 7,200 crores by March 2009.[9] This was followed by restructuring plans which are still in progress.[10]. In July 2009, SBI Capital Markets Ltd was appointed to prepare a road map for the recovery of the airline.[11] The carrier sold three Airbus A300 and one Boeing 747-300M in March 2009 for $ 18.75 million to survive the financial crunch[12].

Air India's corporate headquarters is located at the Air India Building at Nariman Point in South Mumbai. The airline moved there in 1970. The Air India Building also serves as a regional office for Indian Airlines.
[edit] Corporate Affairs and Identity
[edit] Organization
Air India has two subsidiaries and two affiliated carries. Together Air India, Air India Cargo, Air-India Express, Indian Airlines and Air India Regional form the National Aviation Company of India Limited.
[edit] Subsidiaries
[edit] Air India Cargo
In 1954, Air India Cargo started its freighter operations with a Douglas DC-3 Dakota aircraft, giving Air India the distinction of being the first Asian airline to operate freighters. The airline operates cargo flights to many destinations. The airline also has ground truck-transportation arrangements on select destinations.
A member of IATA, Air India carries all types of cargo including dangerous goods (hazardous materials) and live animals, provided such shipments are tendered according to IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and IATA Live Animals Regulations.
At the warehouse in Mumbai, Air India has developed a system of inventory management for cargo handling of import/export functions. This takes care of the entire management of cargo, supports Electronic Data Interface (EDI) messages with Indian Customs and replaces to a great extent existing paper correspondence between Customs, Airlines, and the custodians. This also replaces manual handling and binning of cargo at the warehouse in Mumbai by Air India.
[edit] Air-India Express
Air-India Express is the airline's low-cost subsidiary which was established in 2005 during the aviation boom in India. It operates scheduled passenger services primarily to the Gulf and South East Asia. Air-India Express is currently the only airline in NACIL which posts profits. It operates a fleet of Next Generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
[edit] Affiliated Carriers
[edit] Indian Airlines
Indian Airlines which is based in Delhi and focuses primarily on domestic routes, along with several international services to neighbouring countries in Asia
[edit] Air India Regional
Air India Regional (formerly known as Alliance Air) serves mainly on Regional routes. Its main hub is Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.
[edit] Livery
[edit] 1970-2007 Livery
Air India's livery was mostly painted in red and white colours. The bottoms of the aircraft remain metal and unpainted but the upper portion is given a white background along with the airline's name written in red. The name is in Hindi on one side and in English on the other. The painted on red palace style carvings on the outside of the windows refer to their slogan "your palace in the sky" which is written on the back of the aircraft. Near the noses of Air India aircraft, the air plane is given a name. Most planes are named after powerful Indian kings or landmarks. Finally, the tail is mostly red with again, the carrier's name written in Hindi on one side and English on the other.
In 1989, to supplement its "Flying Palace" livery, Air India introduced a new "sun" livery that was mostly white with a golden sun on a red tail. Only applied to around a half of Air India's fleet, the new livery did not succeed, as the Indian flying public complained about the phasing out of the classic colours. The livery was dropped after two years and the old scheme was returned.
[edit] Pre-merger Livery
On 15 May 2007, Air India refreshed its livery, making the Rajasthani arches along the windows slightly smaller, extending a stylized cheatline from the vertical tail of the aircraft to the nose, and painting a small portion of the underbelly red. Additionally, engine nacelles are now deep red, and a gold-colored version of the airline's stylized centaur trademark now adorns both the vertical tail and engine nacelles.
[edit] Post-merger Livery
On May 22, 2007, Air India and Indian Airlines unveiled their new livery. The logo of the new airline is a Flying Swan with the Konark Chakra placed inside it. The Flying Swan has been morphed from Air India's characteristic logo, 'The Centaur' whereas the 'Konark Chakra' is reminiscent of Indian's logo.
The new logo features prominently on the tail of the aircraft. Individually the Konark Chakra also features on all the engines of the aircraft. The choice of colours namely red for "Flying Swan" and orange for "Konark Chakra" are meant to signify vigour and advancement. Further the colours also have a strong association with two carriers thereby retaining the earlier imagery of traditional hospitality and service.
While the aircraft is ivory in colour, the base retains the red streak of Air India. Running parallel to each other is the Orange and Red speed lines from front door to the rear door, subtly signifying the individual identities merged into one. The brand name 'Air India' runs across the tail of the aircraft.
[edit] Destinations
Air India serves 11 domestic destinations and 18 international destinations in 10 countries across Asia, Europe and North America.
[edit] Short-haul routes
Air India's short-haul routes mainly include domestic cities and cities in South East Asia and South West Asia. For short-haul routes its Airbus A310, Airbus A330, Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777-200/-200ER are used apart from Airbus A320 family aircraft of Indian Airlines which are operated with Air India callsign and code.
[edit] Long-haul routes
The airline has long-haul destinations in East Asia, Europe and North America which are served using Boeing 777-200LR/-300ER aircraft. Its non-stop Mumbai-New York City route operated on a Boeing 777-200LR is the longest route originating out of India.
Frankfurt Airport in Germany acts as a scissors hub to provide onward Trans-Atlantic connections to the United States.
Since the early 1960s, London always has been a major focus city for Air India right from the time when it launched its first Trans-Atlantic services.
[edit]
Air India has codesharing agreements with the following airlines[13][14]:
With Air India's own entry into the Star Alliance (SA) expected in 2010,[15] all other codeshare agreements with non-Star Alliance partners may be terminated.[16]
